The Palestine Solidarity Campaign condemned Labour for removing terms like 'genocide' and 'apartheid' from a pro-Palestinian event, questioning their commitment to justice.
Ben Jamal, PSC chairman, emphasized that the Labour Party cannot commit to addressing injustice without accurately naming it; he criticized Labour for equating pro-Palestinian advocacy with antisemitism.
In response to the controversy, a Labour source indicated that some attendees might find the event's original title offensive, reflecting the party's ongoing struggle with addressing pro-Palestinian sentiment.
During the conference, Rachel Reeves faced interruptions from pro-Palestinian protestors demanding a halt to UK arms sales to Israel, highlighting tensions within the party.
